Why does this show try to sabotaged its acts. Its getting more and more amateur by the year. No wonder I get polls sent to me asking what I think of the show. They are seriously worried.
I can't see it lasting much longer. Its not like they dont have the talent. They just dont know what to do with it.

Watching x factor for the first time this year, I really think its past its sell by date now, time to the programmers to think up a new talent show.
You can hear the bottom of the barrel being scraped

If this is the first time you have ever seen it. How can you come to these conclusions?

Anton and Mason proviided with two of the worst performances there have ever been on the show tonight.

They said first time this year.

You can read that either way TBH

Well, it's possible a first time X Factor watcher might care enough to jump on a forum and talk about it on their first viewing... But seems unlikely.

How low before it hits Rock Bottom!? surely can't be too far away..

Ok to clear up , I have watched it for years, I used to enjoy it, but in the last years it has become stale ,boring and predictable , and i have not watched this year until tonight and I will not bother again

That song choice for Sophia was weird. Great singer but once again ITS THE SONG

I think we should celebrate the end of the show and it's wonderful history and characters from Brookstein, to Leona, to Cher Lloyd etc.. but it looks like it will go on too long to the point of tainting its legacy.. sad IMO.

I think this week might be the single worst show of all time. Not even based on the singing (Which has been pretty dire anyway due to the terrible choice of key literally every song has been in), but because the judges are acting like a bunch of children on a sugar high. Not to mention the hosting...

Wish everyone would just turn off then. theres one thing voicing your opinion but its the same people day in day out talking about how much they hate the x Factor yet continue to watch - Go awaaaay!

I thought the theme was too reinvent a song & make it your own, not murder a song and make it terrible

Doesnt Simon know by now this isn't Pop Stars its the X Factor and that's what Sean has. Hes just bothered about record sales not promoting a star.

Sorry your right but Che and Sean were brilliant.

I \just cannot stand the, seeming, pomposity of Nick and the blonde haired judge they more than anything make me want to switch over to another show.

Feel free.

Lets face the youngest judge is so pompous it horrendous to watch or hear her speak anymore. I have never felt like this about any other judge so why this one.

Oh I do and mute too.

A great use of your Saturday evening, I see.

I agree and this is from a person who was a huge x factor fan, loved it, never missed an episode but this year is just awful. Didn't even watch it tonight for the 1st time ever.

Simon looked as though he was half asleep tonight. He just used his time to make personal attacks at the other judges like Rita & Cheryl instead of judging the performance. It's obvious he has his favorite Louisa he will definitely give her a record deal even if she doesn't win with comments like "a star is born" and "this is why I love doing the x factor to find someone like you"

And people were saying last year's was bad.

lol. epic! you are right I second emotion!
